Having a dog that has food allergies, I have done a ton of research to find a food I was comfortable feeding that the dogs really liked. This search led me to become a distributor for Flint River Ranch.

Now that one of my dogs has food allergies, I got together with a friend who1. loves to bake2. used to make gourmet dog treats to sell at craft fairs3. loves to bakeand together we made these yummy (to the dogs) delights pictured above.

My favorite recipe to make was the ones that are little balls and here is the recipe:

Luther had his first show weekend in over a year, and in the opposite corner of the country with people he barely knows... In Primm, NV, Saturday he was Best of Breed over 3 other specials for his first major and on Sunday he was Select Dog for his second major for his first 8 points towards his Grand Championship.

Miss Hush was Best Opp in Sweepstakes on Saturday at the Maryland Specialty.

Spot, now known as Isabella, lives 8 miles away with a wonderful family and her new mum, a 12 year old girl, who has always wanted a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. As she left, I said that dreams do come true. Yes they do.

Lots of stuff going on and I have finally found the time to blog all about it!!

Yesterday morning I got a joyous phone call from Barb Miller to say that Olivia got her MACH!!!Thank you Barb for "dreaming BIG" with our "Little Dream"!!And for some more news...On Saturday, Luther flew to Phoenix, AZ. There he is visiting Renay & Jon Crooker and Karen and Shannon Wilson of Sunspark & Kantasia for the winter! What a lucky dog - his humans left behind here in New York wish we could be snow birds too!

Traveling with Luther was Bart, the boy puppy from Snickers x Dallas. He is officially known as Visions Royal Fortune and will be residing in AZ. For now he is the last pup to leave. I may be looking for a show home for Miss Spot once she is back from her Boston vacation with Katrin, assisted by Julie.

Our vacation the first week of September was a much needed break! The virtual Hush came along so I would have a virtual Cardigan companion for the trip.

We left gray, hazy and wet New York behind...

New York Harbor and The Statue of Liberty.Going under the Verrazano Bridge.The bridge we just squeezed under.Hush made new friends...Florida was very sunny and HOT!The space shuttle replica.And Luther would have loved all the "fire hydrants"...The moon was just rising over the flag at the Kennedy Space Center, photo taken as we were leaving.The ocean in the Bahamas was so blue!And there we visited the zoo.And fell in love with the flamingos!It was over too soon and we were headed back home.Farewell to the Norwegian Jewel. We will be back on another NCL ship next spring!

We're still here though I felt we have almost washed away with all the rain, between Hurricane Irene, Tropical Storm Lee and the never-ending rain all month. I am praying that the rain will soon head to those who really need it and that we dry out a bit. The mud is insane - thank goodness for wood shavings which helps keep the mud outside. A dear, dear friend of mine slipped and broke her ankle in all this muck! So scary!!

I hope to catch up here as lots of good stuff has happened as well... little by little...

About Me

We breed and show top quality Cardigan Welsh Corgis. I also love to cook! My dilemma was timing dinner without being a slave to our home, and having a dinner ready when my husband would not be sure what time he would be home.
The slow cooker was the answer and I am now addicted to it!
